 The alarming disease of this country IS nervous debility and prostfation. It goes under many nalnes- hut it is essen- italy the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- tons for nervous patients are crowde@. The average of life in the Unitol States is de- >reasing every yeal. Sudden deaths from ior, lis collapse among our bnaincas, profess ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui. cides, committed without ap- rarent re son, or under so-called depression of spirits" are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all taeir grief and horror.
 These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of it's power and pros- perity. They wreck manhood's strength and wonlan's useful ness and beauty.
 Every one should know the causes. What are they! The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pow erty; tue use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hours pleasure or success. . So we burn life's candle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards.
 The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng fish, Nervous DHsrepsla, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim- ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion bedt5 impeied or des- troyed, the whole lody, nerves included, is literally starved; :; even when there Is no emaci- ation to tell the sad s,ory,
 Nervous prosttation sends out its warnings: :-heatache in the morning; a persistent dull heayiness or aching at the base of tlc brain; wakeiulness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; lo, of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; rcstlessless and anx- iety without any assisnable reason; eruc,ations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitut.oa of the heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition.
 The remedy is a total aban- donment of the habits and cus- toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of .SiuLer Ertrdct of Roots (Seigcl's Syrup) to cure the mischief aacady done. This great remedy, r epmed by the Shaker CotnAruity oI Mt. Leb- anon, \. r.. is especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys- pepsia. To do this it nets directly and gently but power fully upon the disordered stom- ach, liver and kidneys, restor- ing their tone and vigor, pro- noting the secretion of bile, ex- polling waste matters from the system, and purifying the blood.
 Upon the nervous system .Shakcp Ertract(Seigel'sS Syrup acts as a safe and wholesome anodyne without the slightest narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through it's wonderful influence upon tllc function of nutrition.
 It is safe to say more nerv- ous dyppcp.ics have been re- stored by it from the depths of m;ee,y to n fresh en;ovment
